that's how ill that whole scene is. the israeli army is allowed to be SO brutal because no one in America cares.

just a hunch but standing in front of a bulldozer in a country embroiled in conflict where you have no place being just doesn't seem like the best way to stay living.

well, normally it wouldn't be any of our business except that our government pays Israel a yearly amount of more than 10 billion dollars in military gear. that gear is then used to brutalize a population of civilians who have guns, human bombs. or homemade rockets at best to defend themselves.
Israel is being held hostage by blood thirsty savages in the Knesset at present. it's not a good scene, but people are so scared to criticize the government over there, and the extremist religious right wing settlers who steal land on our dime (most of the military is there to protect the settlers), that the violence continues with not hardly a peep in the US media unless it is an "attack" by a palestinian.
there is no hope for the arabs known now as palestinians. they will never get there homes back. the whole world is a silent witness.
they should probably just leave. they've just had the rotten luck of being a victim of circumstance. the wrong place at the wrong time in history.

yes it's sad, the US actually "loans" the Israel government about 21.7 million this year, (14,000 USD per Israel citizen or so) to keep them afloat. The Palestinians are the largest refugee camp in the world 2 million. Israel is a tiny population 11 million, 5.2 in US and another 6 in the middle Arab country or so, but the poplation is dying off at a quick pace... it is a loose, loose situation for Israel and only keeping a mighty army will fend off attackers... they have managed to make their culture beyond criticism through influence in US/UK media and beyond.
The sad thing about Ms. Corrie is that the same bulldozer (driver I presume) killed a pregnant Palestinian women and her 18 month old child the week before.... Another sad thing (theory) is that Israel and the Palestinians are the both Arab (called Semites), but being the "chosen people" they will not have any part of that theory... sad and probably the truth, so there you go, I predict bad Karma for Israel (and the US), which will eventually catch up... and so the world keeps turning.
